Hi, I’m Eric … a "retired" middle school science teacher who creates current, classroom-ready science resources to support today’s teachers. Hi! My name is Eric.

Its Science was birthed out of a desire to serve science teachers. Since most of my experience is in Middle School, most of my products fall in that age range. However, I wanted to dedicate this FB site to science labs and activities. Which, I believe, are one of the most influential components of any science curriculum. But, it has morphed into a slew of other trends...news posts, science events/happenings, etc. Pick up your FREE science posters here - https://its-science.com/science-concepts-posters/
Thank you for stopping in and looking things over!

What does electricity and magnetism look like when students do more than memorize the vocabulary?
They read circuit diagrams.
They compare series and parallel circuits.
They explore magnetic fields and electromagnets.
They connect those ideas to everyday devices and real-world examples.
That’s the kind of progression built into the Electricity & Magnetism Visual Science Workbook for Grades 5–8.
Explore → Practice → Investigate

Electricity and magnetism can quickly turn into a long list of terms, diagrams, and concepts.
This new Electricity & Magnetism Visual Science Workbook for Grades 5–8 is designed to help students see how those ideas connect.
Students explore circuits, current, magnets, magnetic fields, electromagnetism, and real-world applications through visual explanations, practice, activities, and hands-on learning.
See the connections. Understand the science.

Sometimes students don’t need another definition.
They need the ideas to connect.
The Matter Visual Science Workbook gives students opportunities to learn the concepts, apply what they know, investigate real examples, and work through challenges that build understanding.
From states of matter and density to phase changes, solutions, and physical and chemical changes—it’s designed to help the science finally click.

Learning about matter should involve more than memorizing solid, liquid, gas and moving on.
Students in this workbook explore phase changes, physical and chemical properties, density, solutions, and more through practice pages, investigations, review activities, and challenges.
There’s even a kitchen science ice cream investigation tucked into the mix. Because sometimes science is better when you can eat the evidence. 🍨🔬
Designed for grades 5–8.

Matter can turn into a vocabulary marathon pretty quickly. 😄
This Visual Science Workbook for Grades 5–8 helps students move beyond definitions and actually understand concepts like mass, volume, density, states of matter, solutions, and physical and chemical changes.
Clear explanations, hands-on investigations, real-world connections, practice, and challenges are all built in.
Make matter make sense.

You can explain atoms.

You can explain groups and periods.

You can explain electron shells.

But the real win comes when a student suddenly sees how those ideas fit together.

That’s what Atoms & the Periodic Table of Elements is designed to help students do.

Through visual lessons, guided practice, hands-on activities, and challenges, students in grades 5–8 build connections instead of simply collecting facts.

Help the periodic table click.

What does learning the periodic table look like when students do more than memorize it?

They start by understanding atoms.

Then they learn how to navigate groups and periods.

Then they begin uncovering connections—like the relationship between period numbers and electron shells.

And finally, they put that understanding to work through practice and hands-on activities.

That progression is built into Atoms & the Periodic Table of Elements, a visual science workbook for grades 5–8.

Atoms and the periodic table don’t have to feel like a giant wall of symbols.

Atoms & the Periodic Table of Elements helps students in grades 5–8 build understanding through visual explanations, guided practice, activities, and challenges.

Students learn how atomic structure connects to the organization of the periodic table—so they can begin seeing the patterns instead of simply memorizing facts.

A useful option for classroom review, enrichment, independent learning, or homeschool science.

See the patterns. Understand the science.

Need a little help making Newton’s Laws easier for students to understand?

I created a FREE animated Newton’s Laws of Motion slide presentation designed for upper elementary and middle school science classrooms.

It covers forces, balanced and unbalanced forces, friction, force pairs, and all three of Newton’s Laws—with built-in opportunities for students to stop, think, and apply what they’re learning.

Ready to use. No extra prep. And yep…it’s free. 😊

Hope it saves you a little planning time—and helps Newton’s Laws click for your students!
